"Old Man Beer" (aka "Lawnmower Beer") swap meet. I can provide Hamm's, Stroh's, Stag, and the new original recipe Old Style (I prefer the extra crispy 80s-90s Old Style personally). I am questing for Blatz, Balantine, Pearl, Natty Bo, and the holy grail...Schaefer (the beer to have when you have more than one).

dj bradx would be more than willing to show up and play some records between bands for one or more of the day shows or at night, pretty much whatever you want... i have all my own gear, turntables, mixer, microphone, all i need is an invite and i would gladly do a LIVE GET DRUNK PLAY RECORDS anytime you want/need///

I didn't see any low-fives this year...I was like, "damn, everybody here is pretty cool I'm not seeing any low-fives." I'm all for handing off drugs and giving hand jobs on the DL btw just not in the guise of a low-five.

i wanna say NECKBONES but i probably wouldnt be able to make it anyway. they were a formative band for me, seeing them at 16/17...maybe first real rock 'n roll band i saw. cant remember if it was them or guitar wolf.

Quintron & Miss Pussycat house band; Keith Richards--hasn't played Gonerfest solo since 1989...just recorded in town & may need some promotion...also in his biography professed his love for Gonerfest on p.24 (paperback) "we're all Goners! We're all Goners!"

I would also like to see a Battle Of The Bands style matinee show judged by me, H0pp3, Joe Pestilence, and Nate The Rat. This would be held in Bryants parking lot on Thursday at 9am. The winner gets to play at YOLO before the Friday beer bust.

I know Marked Men played an earlier gonerfest, but I am boggled that their recent amazing side projects haven't ever rolled through Memphis (gonerfest or not). Get us some Mind Spiders and Radioactivity!

Gang of Four & Wire still tour. Did not see Wire this time around, but I saw them at the Double Door in 2003 & have never left a show so astonished in my life. They were absolutely unreal. There's fantastic stuff on the EPs they released about that time & the live disc, The Scottish Play, has the most blistering version of "Germ Ship."

I think the crystal ballroom show is going to be a one-off. I assume that folks will be flying from Europe in Jan. for the show. I would kill to see the Fred and Toody acoustic thing they did in PDX a couple years ago and I think they are doing shows in Europe as. It was easily one of the best shows I have ever seen.

2nd best idea yet... The Fall. Also, see if you can get The Mutants from East Lansing or where ever the hell they were from. "I Say Yeah"/"Cafe Au Lait" is one of my favorite singles. Art Lyzak was on Facebook.

Toxic Reason are still a band, they even all work together (or most of them do) I don't think they play out a ton, but I guess they practice together -- I loved them back in the day. Tufty was doing the Zero Boys, but they are just one guy and some hired hands now...

I've been meaning to say this for a while, but as for Australian bands for next year... Radio Birdman?

As much as I love the Saints, I say no Saints, as I saw them once (2005?) and they made me sad. Unless they play "I'm Stranded" in its entirety. Although I don't like bands touring/playing just their "hit" album.

I thought of a really good doable reunion show a couple days ago and meant to post it here and then forgot.

I've been trying to find The Drags 45x3 ever since I ran across an empty case a couple months ago....I couldn't figure out why I never got it, then I realized that it's a greatest hits record....I have everything else so fuck it.

I don't really care what bands reunite....I just want to see music by people who aren't pussies.....if someone can show me a band that isn't mostly comprised of cry baby pussies, pandering to current trends...they will be my new favorite band.

The Drags will not reform, they had been a couple and share a couple of kids and do not want to be in band together.

Yeah, if nobody's been able to get them back together for any of the many PeeDeeEx-fests, i assume it won't happen - but didn't they both play in that country outfit with Scott Monoshock not too long back?
